When used for a minimally invasive posterior approach ILLlCO¿ MIS Instrumentation is used in conjunction with polyaxial screw components. The ILLICO MIS Posterior Fixation System is intended for use as a posterior spinal fixation device to aid in the surgical correction of various spinal deformities and pathologies of the spine.
